Lingsoft's language-specific Proofreader plugins for Adobe include a spelling checker offering correction suggestions, a grammar and style checker that recognizes common errors, and a high-quality hyphenation module. Each language version is based on a Lingsoft-developed language model for word structures, such as inflections, derivations and compounds.

Thus, Proofreader recognizes every word form that can grammatically be derived from the comprehensive lexicons of the language models. The lexicons include a wide variety of current and traditional abbreviations, acronyms and proper names, above and beyond the language's basic vocabulary.

The plugins are seamlessly and transparently integrated to the standard proofing tools interface of InDesign, and require no additional efforts from the user after install and initial setup. You can fine-tune both hyphenation and spell checking by adding words and hyphenation rules to custom dictionaries as you would with the standard tools.

Lingsoft Proofreader plugins are a must for all who care about linguistic quality and adequacy: newspapers, magazines, advertisement bureaus, public relation agencies, and all others preparing layouted text for press and print.

Did you find an error?

Lingsoft continuously improves its state-of-art language models, which are the core linguistic resources of its spelling and grammar checkers, as well as hyphenators, thesauri and various-purpose language analyzers, to reflect the changes in languages.

With this form you can suggest a word, which you think should be included, and thus be recognized as correctly spelled by Lingsoft's spell-checker, or a word, which you think should be excluded, and thus be flagged as false.

Lingsoft reserves an exclusive right to accept, modify or decline suggestions to include or exclude a particular word to or from its language model of the according language and/or domain without further notice. Thus, for example a yearly update of a common-language spelling and grammar checker may or may not include the suggestion. Lingsoft may for computational linguistic or other reasons decide to leave even an awkward or outdated word, word form, or compound in the language model, but flag it as eventually false or inappropriate with a grammar checker rule.

If you have particular vocabulary needs for your organization, such as a corporate or domain-related language management, please contact a Lingsoft solution expert for more information on customized language management tools.
